Re-download Office Home and Student 2010. I have a product key but no CD

In March or April 2010, I purchased Office Home and Student 2010, online.  I have the product key.  I do not have a CD.

In October, the hard drive on the computer containing the software failed.  Now, with a new hard drive installed, I need to re-download the software.  I have searched the site extensively and have not found information about how to do this.  

Please provide detailed information about how to download the software.  Answers to an earlier question included a URL to a site for the trial version of software.  When I clicked on the link, however, I was redirected to a page for purchasing full versions of the software. 

Please help.  Thank you.

While getting a new trial will work, a more direct link to obtain the download package again is;

    I purchased MS Office Home & Student 2013. I recently reinstalled my Windows 7 operating system. I would like to download this product again. I have the original 25 character product key. Thanks for your help. Lowell Rundle

    Yes I own this software too, purchased the CD and later had moved overseas. My CD is packed in storage but the computer laptop I had installed this on , well the hard drive blew and I needed a new one. Now I'm trying to re-download all software like Photoshop 6 and MS home and Student 2010. MS office 2010 is impossible to find and I can't understand why MS even asks us to register if this isn't going to be backed up in a profile for us to re-download at anytime like a cloud base.

    I need help, it's be 2 years if anything that I'll be able to get all my physical software programs and don't feel like paying for what I already own.

    The image is a snap shot I took as I usually take images of everything I buy.

    Where did you get that product key? Download the Office suite from

    there?

    I tried this link to download a trial and it worked for me:
